Currently there is no hook available to filter the output. But you can do one of the following: Use remove_meta_box() to remove the existing category metabox and register your own with add_meta_box(). Copy&Past … Read more
Probably not. The recommended way to get your enhancements into the plugin is: Send your fixes to the developer and ask her to merge them into the original. If your changes are rather personal customizations, this won’t happen. If the plugin is written in a strict OOP style you can create a second plugin which … Read more
This is certainly possible by utilizing some rewrite rules of your own to some extent. The WP_Rewrite API exposes functions that allow you to add rewrite rules (or ‘maps’) to convert a request to a query.

I’m not sure if there’s another way, but manipulating the global variable $submenu can make this work. The following is just a manual hack (I’m not aware of any hook) and may fail on non-standard submenus set ups. The regular Post post type has a unique address and the rest of types has another one, … Read more
